Heaters should be located to provide a blanket of

in accordance with national and local codes
having jurisdiction. Note: all baseboards must
be grounded in accordance with article 250 of
the National Electrical Code.

convenience receptacles (outlets).

openings. Keep electrical cords, drapes and
other furnishings or objects clear of these
openings.

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liguids

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRAPE
PLACEMENT NEAR BASEBOARD HEATER
1. Allow minimum clearance of 1” from drapes to ceiling
and to top of floor covering to permit air circulation
(Example 1, Figure 1).
2. Hang full length drapes to provide a minimum of 2”
air space between heater front and nearest drape
fold as shown in Example 1, Figure 1.
3. Hang short drapes to provide minimum of 6”
clearance between bottom of drapes and top of
heater, preferably more (Example 2, Figure 1).

in contact with heater. Some fabrics discolor in time
from exposure sunlight or warm air. Check to make
sure drapery material will not discolor, shrink, or
stretch upon extended (1000 hour) exposure to
temperatures of 200

Heaters may be mounted directly to any floor
surface, including carpeting. Wall to wall carpet

the front of the baseboard heater. This is provided
the flooring material does not obstruct air flow to
the heater.
